Important message from Superintendent Belfield:

Food Drive Produces Huge Donation to Local Food Pantry:
Last week, students from the LaFayette Jr./Sr. High School made a special delivery to the LaFayette Outreach Food Pantry: about 600 cans of food!
Organized by high school English Teacher Maura Daly, this food drive accepted both non-perishable food and monetary donations. Maura mentioned that she runs a program in her classroom whereby students who donate five cans of food or five dollars can earn a point card that is redeemable toward classroom activities. Other participating teachers/classrooms often have their own “reward system” in place, and definitely try to be part of the drive: “There has never been a teacher unwilling to participate,” according to Maura.
